Americanas and Arucanas will lay eggs in fun colors.

It’s not like using the oil to reheat something consumes it. You should keep using oil over again until it’s pretty deep brown, and even then you should just filter your oil and put it back in service instead of tossing it.

That really depends on the expectation of the collectors. Antique phones, for example, are expected to be fully restored, and being original doesn’t count for as much as being in good working order and having limited visual blemishes.

Do they have a sign up sheet where every other Tuesday you have to sit outside and chill on the cow farm and pretend to be poor?

I think it definitely can work, it just won’t work places that don’t have high societal trust, developed sense of personal shame, or general desire for orderliness. I think many American cities could make it work, and I’m morally certain that Japan could, but there are other American cities where I’m pretty sure it…

When the trend line on is flat from prior to prohibition being enacted, yes.

That’s the thing though, even when machine guns were easy to acquire legally, legally acquired machine guns did not get used in crime. For the 52 year span between when records started being kept of what constituted a legal machine gun and when they were banned, there was one homicide with a legal machine gun. Since…

The highest profile example I can think of is the North Hollywood Bank Robbery, which happened 11 years after the Machine Gun registry was closed, however, even if you go back to before the Machine Gun Registry being closed, the ATF says that a legally owned machine gun has been used in crime in the only 3 times US,…

The central issue is why young men think their lives are so worthless that revenge and infamy are more attractive than a future. Another central issue is why existing legal mechanisms to prevent things like this from happening so consistently fail, and why the bureaucrats who were supposed to operate these mechanisms…

When people are trying to convince the public they are working to ban machine guns when new production machine guns have been banned since 1986, it’s not pedantry, it’s honesty.

I don’t dispute that the visual similarities and design heritage of the M-16 and AR-15 make them easy to conflate, what I’ve been disputing is your insistence that using language that deliberately increases the confusion on the matter isn’t disingenuous or misleading. The effort to increase the confusion in the eyes…

The same is true for basically every available modern firearm though. Short of over-under double barrel shotguns, side by side dangerous game rifles, toggle lock biathlon rifles, and some of the really rare and oddball long recoil hunting semi-autos, every single gun in the gunsafes of sportsmen and recreational…

“Assault rifle” is a term of art referring to fully automatic infantry weapons, the full automatic (or burst fire) function being part of the definition. “Assault Weapon” is a term of law invented invented by the Violence Policy Center and used for the 1994 Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Act, which by legal…

One’s a machine gun, the other is just a rifle. It’s hardly a small difference. The uninformed often conflate semiautomatic with full automatic often enough, using these two terms interchangeably when you should know better is being intentionally deceptive.

Never mind that Chipper Jones says “Assault Rifle” not “Assault Weapon” and Assault Rifle specifically refers to a select fire rifle, but there’s no functional difference between your father’s .30-06 and my Savage MSR-10 Hunter, in terms of what they can do, anyways. Mine just looks frightening.

My folks had an 84 Aerofront Monte Carlo with T tops. It was my favorite thing as a little kid, but unfortunately it got sandwiched between a pair of dump trucks at a stop light and replaced with a Lumina. Everyone in the family hated the Lumina.

The economics of farming is an interesting study in unintended consequences. Most of the subsidies that strongly entrench massive farm corps were intended to protect small farms, but in an effort to reduce risk for small plot farmers, we eliminated risk for large conglomerates. The price of farmland is as high as it…

You need to work on your reading comprehension, “Mr. Smartypants” was referring to the ad homien you aimed at me. I’m sorry if my extraneous apostrophy after “that” was confusing.

I chose to include them because I trust them to crush the competition when it comes to cartels, not because I thought they’d be the most ethical partners for coco farmers in Belize, but I do see you’re point.

Would you take American’s for Prosperity’s word on the provenance of the NAACP’s funding?
